Depending on whether the request is routine or high visibility, I or my senior director will sign off on the file. Ultimately, though, I'm responsible for approving the release. If it's a high-visibility file, the secretary's office, as well as the office of the president, is provided a full copy of the release package. This is for information purposes only—we don't wait to hear back from them. After the three days are up, we release the information to the requester.
On June 1st, 2010. See this statement in context.
